Products:

A "used" item is a product that has been formerly owned by someone else, and either sold to us, or traded in toward the purchase of other equipment. Some used items are relatively new; their owners only part with them so that they can 'trade-up' to something else they have their eye on. Other used items that are of a certain age are called "vintage" items. Although no longer under the manufacturer's warranty period, almost all used items are serviced by our in-house technical staff, and come with a Vintage King warranty: 1 year for analog rack gear and 6 months for microphones and digital products.

A "demo deal" item simply means we've had it out of the box to demonstrate to another customer on site or sent to their premises to hear in their own studio for a few days, therefore it is no longer factory-sealed. All demo items we sell come with a full manufacturer's warranty and have been evaluated by our factory authorized technical staff to ensure your "demo deal" purchase is in perfect working order before we ship it to you. No need to worry as you will have peace of mind knowing that our return policy applies to all demo items.

A "vintage" item is a piece of audio gear that has been formerly owned by someone else, and either sold to us, or traded in toward the purchase of other equipment. The term "vintage" is not a precise one, but generally refers to a product that is at least 20-25 years old. Audio equipment from this era is predominantly analog, but does include some of the earlier digital gear. Most of our vintage pieces are from the "Golden Age" of audio design and manufacturing, with companies like Neve, Neumann, Urei, dbx and Helios making their classic products in the 60s and 70s. Vintage King is proud to offer the largest selection of such gear in the world, and we are constantly looking to expand our stock, (hey, we have to live up to our name!). All of our "vintage" items are serviced by our in-house technical staff - using as many original parts as possible - and nearly all of them are provided with a six month or 1 year warranty.

Returns:

Absolutely! We strive to offer a no hassle return policy. If there is a problem with your order or you are not 100% satisfied, please contact us immediately so that we can promptly resolve it for you.

Returns within 30 days of delivery are eligible for full refund (less shipping costs). We do not offer refunds beyond 30 days after delivery. A small number of items are not returnable, check out our easy return policy for details.

Yes we do! In fact we offer 50% off Fed Ex retail international shipping rates.

Due to manufacturer restrictions, certain brands cannot be shipped outside of the United States. Please call us to find out if the item(s) you are interested in can be shipped internationally. We can ship to any locations that use a US Postal ZIP Code such as US Military addresses, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands etc.

If your package is damaged, you MUST contact customer service within 14 days from delivery. Customer Service hours are Monday through Friday from 10AM to 6 PM Eastern Time. Email: customerservice@vintageking.com or call 1.888.653.1184, and press 2. If outside the United States please call 1.248.591.9276.

Please be aware that pro audio is susceptible to damage during transit. We take great care to prevent damaged items and pack shipments so that they will arrive safely, so be sure to retain the original packing materials, original receipt and all merchandise tags for any item that you wish to return to us.

Duties and tax for warranty and damage replacement items

Even though you may have paid shipping, taxes or duty on your original order, it is IMPORTANT to understand that your government may impose duties and taxes for warranty items or replacement items damaged during shipment from the United States for the new order. You (the customer), are solely responsible for shipping charges, taxes, and duties, once goods arrive in your country.

Though we don’t anticipate problems occurring with your purchase, should you experience any difficulties with something not working as it should, do not hesitate to immediately contact customer service. We will be happy to assist you in expediting any service you may need. Please note, however, that all warranty repairs or replacements require prior authorization. Contact Customer Service Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM Eastern Time. Email: customerservice@vintageking.com or call 1.888.653.1184, and press 2. If outside the United States please call 1.248.591.9276.

“Hey Jeff (Ehrenberg),

Got the (Smart Research) C1LA today. I had a mix up on the console so I swapped out the Neve for the Smart so I could test it out. That little thing sounds f***ing great! I was a little skeptical if a 500 series comp could sound big enough for the master buss, but man I'm a total believer now. I never thought I would say this, but with the added features of the C1LA I actually prefer it and would choose it over the original C1. Those filters and the new available sidechain and knee settings make this thing so bad ass. It's perfect. Thanks for the great advice and service. Can't believe you were able to get it to me next day when I didn't even call you until 4:30 PM.
